Friends of Karori Cemetery: Tour this Weekend

Julia Kennedy from Friends of Karori Cemetery

Tour: Military Tales from the Services Section

This tour will run next on Sunday 5th May at 11:00am.

Historians say that war has played a big role in New Zealanders sense of themselves. They reflect on the military prowess of the Maori, the adaptability and guerilla skills of the NZ soldier, the unifying impact of Maori and Pakeha fighting side by side in the trenches in both world wars, and the successes NZer’s have had in conflict. Opened in 1919, the Karori Servicemens Cemetery is NZ’s oldest and largest. On this walk we will visit the graves of senior officers who served in the New Zealand wars, the South African wars, in WW1 and WW2, and in the Asian wars, starting with Sir Harry Atkinson, and finishing with Major General Kippenberger.

The tour duration is 1 hour 30mins.

Tours are $10 per person (plus non-refundable booking fee). Children under 12 are free. Your ticket can be booked through our ticketing website Humanitix:
